There is no reason to burn our churches,'' he said. mooslims don't need a reason to bomb a church. Just ask the Serbs of Kosovo. They especially like to burn on March 17th........................the rotten bastards burned 35 orthodox churches and killed scores in a 2 day pogrom called 'Kristallnacht'

I suppose these idiots can't see that they're proving the Pope correct? Let's identify them for what they are .... illiterate bedouins .... and Islam wants to keep them that way :-)
Yes, absolutely, they are proving the Pope correct.

Relations between Palestinian Muslims and Christians are generally peaceful, and the attacks on the churches sparked concern that tensions would heighten.
I think that is leftist talk to say that those dirty rotten Christians may get mad and even retaliate instead of taking in on the cheek.

I think what the Pope said was right on money. However, like it or not, we have to be prepared to see more incidents like this in the future.
It comes to a question whether Christians--especially those who live in Islamic countries--ready to go to war, or at least see their churches attacked.
I expect Liberal & Islamic media will play "the consequences of Pope's speech" again and again that many people including Christians will start to think whether it was wise for Pope Benedict to say so.
Now, they have a new slogan: It's Pope's fault!

There's no reason at all for the Pope to not adopt the language and forms of the Protestant Reformers from time to time ~ particularly when he's dealing with folks who adhere to a religion much in need of reform!
I believe this gentleman is the first Pope from a country with large numbers of both Catholics and Protestants. The last German Pope was around before the Reformation, right?

What Muslims see are Christians unwilling to die for their beliefs. Here, dear friend, you are absolutely wrong!
Fr. Andrea Santoro was killed February 5, 2006 while kneeling and praying in his Santa Maria Church in Trabzon, a city of 200,000 situated on the Black Sea. His killer, 16-year-old high school student Ouzhan Akdin, yelled Allahu akbar or Allah is great after firing two rounds from a nine millimetre handgun into Fr. Santoros back.
Fr. Santoro was a diocesan priest of Rome who had requested to work as a missionary in Turkey, which he had done for six years. Deal Hudson described Fr. Santoro as a man deeply committed to fostering understanding between the east and west, as well as peace among religions, according to his e-mail column, The Window. He also served the poor and was notably active in the fight against sex trafficking of Christian women, a practice common in the region, he added.
A volunteer in Turkey who knew Fr. Santoro remembered the last thing Fr. Santoro told him and a group of priests while on retreat not long before his death. I live among these people so that Jesus can live among them through me. As it was at the time of Jesus, silence, humility, the simple life, acts of faith, miracles of charity, clear and defenceless witness, and the conscious offering of ones life can rehabilitate the Middle East. I am convinced that in the end there are no two ways, only one way that leads to light through darkness, to life through the bitterness of death. Only by offering ones flesh is salvation possible. The evil that stalks the world must be borne and pain must be shared till the end in ones own flesh as Jesus did.
Father Santoro died for his Catholic beliefs. He is a martyr!

I don't know how reliable the site is, but these guys have many articles concerning current Christian martyrs: http://www.worthynews.com/news-features-3/ethiopian-evangelical-killed.html
No excuse for the MSM to not be able to find these things out.

It's called stepping it up.
First there was the Koran that a magazine reported to have been used for toilet paper, resulting in riots from Pakistan around the world.
Then came this Swedish caricature when masses went wild, but the western media learned to shut up, and now it's the Pope.
The rest of the world keeps getting more and increasingly silent with the end result that leads into a blackout for whatever these "unselfish" murderers, killers take upon themselves to kill or destroy.
Final stage: Islamists won and are free to kill, suppress, rule and to Islam-convert as they please.

Adrian barely made it. That's before the Treaty of Westphalia, so all the big issues were not settled in his time, but he'd certainly have been aware of the French trying to kill each other over how to conduct a mass.
